He referred to the initiative of Govt. of Maharashtra’s ‘jeevan mulye’ and said that “Swamiji was having all these values in his personality which made him unique.”
Mr. Mohan Shete, in his inspiring speech emphasized on the point that instead of celebrating Death anniversary or birth anniversary of great persons, application of their ‘teachings’ and ‘thoughts’ in our day to day life is important. He shared some anecdotes from Swamiji’s life and his thoughts on building the nation through youth by narrating many incidents from Swamiji’s life like his tour of India, Speech at Chicago and his bereavement. He told that Swamiji’s thoughts which were put up by him around 125 yrs ago are relevant even in today’s practical progressive world. Swamiji gave Indians proper understanding of their country’s great spiritual heritage and thus gave them pride in their past. Swamiji made India a nation with a global mission. While expressing the depth and magnitude of Swamiji’s contribution to mankind Mr. Mohan Shete said,“Swami Vivekananda is a subject of study, research and comprehension and not a subject to just worship and forget.”
Mr. Anand Buddhikot proposed vote of thanks and compeering was done by Mrs. Yogeshwari Dhannak.
